Bhopal:<\/strong> The man who was caught on camera urinating on another man in Madhya Pradesh was arrested late last night, police said.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a viral video, the man, identified as Pravesh Shukla, was seen smoking a cigarette while urinating on a tribal man sitting on the ground. The video triggered a political row in the state, prompting Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan to order a case under the stringent National Security Act against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to the police, Shukla, who kept hopping from one place to another trying to avoid an arrest, was caught at 2 am and interrogated. A case has been registered against him under the National Security Act, SC\/ST Act, and other sections of the Indian Penal Code. As part of the investigation, Shukla’s wife and parents were also questioned.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mr Ravat had prepared an affidavit stating that the video is fake and was created to frame Shukla in a false case. However, sources say that the affidavit was allegedly prepared under duress and has not yet been submitted to any authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shukla’s alleged links with the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have further emboldened the opposition Congress who claimed that the shocking incident is a symptom of a wider problem of violence against tribal people in Madhya Pradesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “A video of atrocity of (a man) urinating on a tribal youth from Sidhi district of the state has surfaced. There is no place for such a heinous act with the youth of the tribal community in civilised society,” said former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “This incident has put entire Madhya Pradesh to shame….strictest punishment should be given to the guilty person and atrocities on tribals in Madhya Pradesh should be stopped,” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Photos of the accused with BJP MLA from Sidhi Kedarnath Shukla and Rajendra Shukla, a BJP MLA from Rewa, have surfaced on social media, however, the party categorically denied any association with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “I know him because he is from my constituency, but he is not my representative or a BJP worker,” said Kedarnath Shukla.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" NDTV News: Bhopal: The man who was caught on camera urinating on another man in Madhya Pradesh was arrested late last night, police said.\u00a0 In a viral video, the man, identified as Pravesh Shukla, was seen smoking a cigarette while urinating on a tribal man sitting on the ground.
